HTC EVO 3D - fastboot TOO MANY LINKS Error

Hello!
I am looking for help with rooting my HTC EVO 3D phone (HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3), which went successfully all way through step 12 per HTC DEV unlock instructions, however, as described in step 13, the phone has never prompted for YES/NO to confirm unlock. I am getting the "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" error pretty much for every fastboot command. The good thing is that phone boots and works properly otherwise.
Factory Reset or Removing battery did not help.
Could someone advice on how to clear this error and successfully root the phone from this point.
Below is the log of commandes:
1. C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

(bootloader) < Please cut following message >

But as described in STEP 13, PHONE has never asked to confirm UNLOCK!

What hboot version are you on?

it is HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3.

I can't link as I'm on the phone bit if you go to the cdma development section for the EVO 3d there is a few good guides to walk you through rooting and flashing with 1.5 you will still have s-on but be able to flash. My opinion would be go with twrp its in the stickies

MTEEZEY,
Thank you for the advice. Found post advising to run the 2.08 RUU and then retry the HTC unlock. Worked for me!

Relocked bootloader can't Unlock again

Yesterday I was playing around and almost bricked my phone, had to do a RUU restore and for this I had to Relock the bootloader, after bringing my phone back to life and trying to unlock it again I just can't achieve it.
I follow the same instructions from HTC Dev, used the same code and got an error, then got a new code and I get this error:
Code:
C:\fastboot (android root)>fastboot flash unlocktocken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktocken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.022s]
writing 'unlocktocken'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Any ideas?

i think im not able to figure that out without any help
first i think to unlock the device again and after that just update hboot and then flash cm 10.1
thx for your help

To upgrade your Hboot... You first need to lock your device and then flash the firmware.zip!
After than unlock your device and then flash custom recovery and then install CM10.1
Post the result of the following code:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
If there's a RUU for your device, then you can go back to stock and then update to JB via OTA update if you want..?!

Generate a new unlock_code.bin file from htcdev.com and then try again!
